This joint needs some more vintage hifi

I had a SX-1280 and sold it for 180.00.. What a fool I was back then.
I had a SX-1050 and sold it for 50.00.. It turned on but no sound. It probably needed fuses or something. Both were filthy dirty when I bought them, but they cleaned up to like new beauty.

Now that I'm getting some disposable income every month now, I've thought about purchasing a 1280 at retail now. I doubt I will but who knows .

Most people just listen to music and watch movies . I am glad to be a part of a select group that tries to take our auditory and visual senses to a higher level: we EXPERIENCE them.... GOT SDA?... Got TFM ?

I bought a receiver or maybe it was just an Integrated from that series years ago.....Guess where....yea, a church bazaar.

It too was under a table, hidden from the people that showed up before me. I think it was 4.00. It played fine and was quite solid and heavy. I liked those little square push buttons.
I shipped it to a HK collector "of that HK series" in Seattle I believe.

As you dudes were yapping about turn tables I remembered there was an old thread of the ten worst things we used to do to tt. Well I chimed in because I didn't see the 2 most obvious ones. # 1. high spindle stacking. Hey my thinking back then, if the machine was made to do that then drop they will. Obviously not so good for both the mushing of LPs and the extra weight for the motor. #2. The world famous instant anti-skating device known to man kind. Scotch taping a penny to the shell head of the cart. This was for dance parties and I don't think I did this to my Dual 1225 But for sure did it w/ my Zenith drop top suitcase thing. DOC whip up a picture of that thing, I couldn't find it anywhere and you've got the vintage ad thing down... Lew

Teac made some nice decks. Reminds me of the deck I had around that time. It was a Harman Kardon CD-491. Another fairly nice component stolen by my roommate at the time. HK was, i think, a much better brand back then. They seem to have become more of a cheap alternative and don't offer anything special.

I had some of that HK series also. Super heavy and compact and dependable after all these years too. There's a following for that series.
